Short story about the perspective of Mario Molina's dog as a child

Dear diary:

These past few weeks have been awful. My owner Mario, has forgotten me. He never feeds me, he never walks me, he never pets me anymore. He has basically forgotten me. He spends all day in the bathroom. How am I supposed to drinnk now. He always is wearing goggles and gloves. I think he wants to become a scientists or something fancy like that. Now I have to rely on his mom or dad. The worst part is i hear he is going off to Switzerland, to learn a different language. This has been the worst times ever, and I am thinking about running away.

Sincerely,



Woofer









this may not be exactly have happened.

Why did he win the Nobel Prize for Chemistry


- Mario Molina won 1/3 of the Nobel prize for chemistry in 1995
- He won it for coming up with the "CFC- Ozone depletion theory"
- The "CFC- Ozone depletion theory" was saying that when the CFCs mix with the atmosphere they can create a hole in the atmosphere it let the UV rays come through. Then once the UV rays get into the atmosphere they can't get out, like the greenhouse effect.
